Vincent, De Paul & Martineau Homes

Our history:

• We opened our first home for seniors who are developmentally challenged in July 1984;   
  
  
• The Society was approached to help provide permanent housing during the de-institutionalization of people with developmental and physical disabilities; 
   
• We currently have three homes in Scarborough with a total of 18 men and women.

Our mandate:

• To provide permanent homes with 24 hour care for people with developmental and physical challenges; 
   
• To provide an environment that supports the residents with their spiritual, physical and emotional needs; 
   
• To provide an atmosphere which respects the uniqueness of each individual; 
   
• To encourage each resident to enter into the decision making process in areas affecting their lives; 
  
  
• To promote community awareness through participation as full members of the community.

The characteristics and needs of residents:

• The residents are men and women ranging in age from 45 to 85 years. The majority of the residents are seniors. 
   
• Several of the residents have physical challenges. All of the residents have different levels of developmental disability.
